Doomsday, end of the world.

Proponents of the apocalypse in 21. December 2012, describes a number of possible doomsday scenarios. Sometimes they combine two or more theories.

 The Sun

Scientists from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2009, suggested that in September 2012, it may cause serious technological disaster - come down to Earth "perfect sunny" electromagnetic storm.
The result will be paralyzed by the power grid, destroyed computers and basic urban infrastructure.All this may lead to an economic crisis, the impact of which is difficult to imagine.
 Experts also said that this has happened to the sun 150 years ago.Then the British astronomer Richard Carrington observed the sun was covered with large spots, over which broke two dazzling ball, eclipsed sun.
 After 17 hours the sky over North America, Cuba, Jamaica and Hawaii lit flashes of making the same night as bright as day.This storm affected the work of the telegraph - showered sparks from vehicles, burning paper.James Green, one of the directors of NASA and a specialist in the magnetosphere, feared a repetition of the storm:If an event occurs that is similar to what happened in the autumn of 1859, then we can not survive.
Another Russian scientist, director of the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave distribution behalf Propagation (Troitsk), Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Vladimir Kuznetsov believes,  that there is some risk, but not as large as suggested Americans:Increased exposure to the sun will be on near-Earth space, which will appear in the perturbation of atmospheric braking spacecraft and their impact on the electronics.There will also be increased radiation environment, a hazard for astronauts.

 Parade of planets

Under one scenario, the world will end because of the grand parade of planets.

According to this theory, the planets of the solar system and the planets of other stars will line up in a straight line to the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, - leading to disruptions in the world.

The opinions of scholars on this point quite clearly.  Valentin Esipov, State Astronomical Institute of the Sternberg believes that such a theory is under a very shaky basis in fact:Parade of Planets in December 2012 did take place.But, first, it will not be very special - almost on the same line will only Jupiter,  Saturn, Earth and Mars. This configuration is made ​​up quite often - once every 12 years.

 

Change of poles. 

Another version of the reasons for the end of the world is in fear because of the change of polarity of the Earth: Earth may be a change of poles, that would lead to "turn off" of the electromagnetic field of the planet.According to some researchers, the sudden shift of the poles could happen in 2012 and lead to global climate change, such as a new ice age.

Volcanoes.

Another theory is that in 2012, simultaneous eruption of volcanic planet. 

During the existence of the Earth, and this happened more than once led to a planetary catastrophe. 

This version was launched by scientists and seismologists seems quite plausible, given the increased seismic activity in the second half of the 2000s. But she could not find a serious confirmation.Thus, a leading researcher at the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology Alexey Ozerov notes,
that despite the fact that the Kamchatka volcanoes erupted repeatedly in recent years, there is no reason to suppose, that the nature of volcanic change in the near future: Typical, fairly predictable and study activities of the most active volcanoes of Kamchatka - Shiveluch, Klyuchevsky, ring and others, today does not exceed in their activity recorded during the peak of activity of historical observations of giants.

 Nibiru.

 One of the most common and popular among the supporters of the 2012 apocalypse doomsday theories causes mythical planet called Nibiru, which the ancient Greeks called Nemesis.

Nibiru, which allegedly threatens the Earth, was first introduced to the world of Zecharia Sitchin, pseudoscientists and author of many works of fiction.From the works of Sitchin knows that Nibiru orbits the Sun, describing the range of 3600 years.The planet is inhabited Anunaki - highly beings who occasionally visit Earth.According to Sitchin, Anunaki created man, crossing with the monkeys.People perceived them as gods, and themselves Anunaki colonized lands for gold mining, which was necessary for them to deal with the climate catastrophe on Nibiru.The basis of his theory took Sitchin Sumerian myths of human origins.

 Sitchin has repeatedly changed his mind about the date of doomsday. It was originally called in 2085, and then said that the last time Nibiru is approaching the Earth in 600 BC. e.Given the fact that the period of Nibiru on a highly elliptical orbit around the Sun is 3600 years old, the next time it may be close to the Earth, not earlier than a thousand years, which is much later than 2012.

As another indirect argument is the human genome, which contains 223 genes that are not found in other species, and thus people, according to the version of supporters visiting Earth inhabitants of Nibiru, has no predecessors in the lower levels of the earth's evolution.

Robert Todd Carroll, head of the Department of Philosophy College of Sacramento, the author of "The Encyclopedia of errors", expressed his opinion on the reliability of the data Sitchin: Sitchin has become famous for his statements that he - the only person who managed to correctly read the Sumerian clay tablets. He believes that all the other scientists could not comprehend the meaning of the ancient inscriptions that tell of the existence of Nibiru.In his book "The 12th Planet", he wrote a fascinating history, weaving in her fiction, distorted quotes, and mistranslations.Sitchin has proclaimed himself the interpreter of the Bible, and an expert in ancient languages.However, his true skill was that to tie his translation of biblical texts with their interpretation of a Sumerian text.He achieved nothing but ridicule from archaeologists and scientists with knowledge on the part of the ancient languages​​.

 In addition to the version of Sitchin Nibiru actively promoted certain Nancy Lieder, she tried to prove that come in contact with the aliens, and they warned her of the impending disaster.Collision with Nibiru, according to the prophecies Nancy Lieder, was going to happen in May 2003, and when none of that happened, the date "postponed" for 2012.

According to scientists from NASA, the existence of a celestial body, which is called Nibiru, is excluded.They argue that this is just a web hoax, as if it were real, the researchers observed the motion of the planet to the Earth for at least the past ten years.And now it would be visible to the naked eye. Trying to fight the numerous rumors about Nibiru, NASA had a detailed answer to all questions related to this mythical planet.

Thus, a senior fellow NASA Astrobiology Institute, David Morrison said the name Nibiru appears in the writings of the Babylonian astrologers in the story "Enuma Elish", created sometime between the years 668 and 627 BC. e., although Sumerian civilization existed and created all the monuments of their culture much earlier - in IV-III millennium BC. e.He also refuted the view that the Sumerians were astronomically literate:Statements that Nibiru - some planet, which opened the Sumerians, were born out of speculation and assumptions of that Sitchin, in fact neither groundless.Yes, the Sumerian civilization has tremendous artistic culture, advanced technology in agriculture, urban infrastructure and highly developed writing.Unfortunately, the documents proving the Sumerian discoveries in astronomy, has reached us very littleAnd certainly the Sumerians had no concept of Neptune, Uranus and Pluto.They did not know that the planets revolve around the Sun - the first ideas of heliocentrism appeared in ancient Greece, about 2 thousand years after the disappearance of the Sumerian civilization.

According to David Morrison, photo and video evidence of existence of the secret world are in fact a false image of the Sun created by reflections on the lens of technology.In addition, Morrison points out that many take for the planet Nibiru Eris from the asteroid belt, which really exists, is a dwarf body slightly larger than Pluto and Earth is not dangerous.

 Another term that confuses - Planet X.Supposedly so called Nibiru researchers and they found her long. David Morrison says that Planet X - is "the symbol for the object whose existence is in doubt and only assumed on the basis of indirect data.Once an object is recognized as really existing, he is given a real name. "Neither Eris or Planet X is not related to a mystical planet Nibiru. 

Despite constant denials of scientists, many people do not trust them, citing their lack of confidence that the government simply ban all cheating and disseminate information about the impending disaster.

However, among the experts, there are proponents of impending Earth celestial body. Thus, Cyril Butusov, astrophysicist Aviation Academy in St. Petersburg, a member of the International Association of Planetology, said that the Sun belongs to the category of double stars, like most of the stars, that is, it has a "twin."The mention of this is found in the Tibetan legends, in which solar twin called Raja sun.And it is a celestial body, not Nibiru, allegedly moving toward the Earth in three years right up close.The scientist himself is hoping that his theory is wrong, because entails "terrible consequences."

There are other versions of how the end of the world will be held in December 2012,  but NASA experts reject as catastrophic fall of an asteroid and other scenarios.
